Heritage

Women played a significant role in the conflicts known as the British civil wars, and Nottinghamshire women certainly played their part. 

As local historian Sandra Berrington demonstrates, they helped defend castles, wrote pamphlets and propaganda, raised funds, spied, nursed, preached and even contributed on the battlefields. From highborn ladies to ordinary housekeepers, these remarkable women showed, as was said at the time, “A courage beyond their sex”.
